due to misinformation If the News will cast
its eye the report for Marion county, it will
discover that "the township library of Marion"
had 40 069 volumes in 1885, and had Al OS5 in
1886, although it increased ,428 volumes during
the year. Now the nine township libraries of
Marion county contain less than 5000
volumes, and the only library in Indiana
that has 1000 volumes, or anything like that
number, is the city library Of Indianapolis,
| which is not and never was q township library.
| If the News wishes to verify these statements it
can have the opportunity by inquirng at the city
library and the Office of the county superintend-
ent of public instruction. It is evident that the
| city library is in some way included in this ag
/ gregate, and an examination of the figures for
Allen, Tippecanoe. Vanderburg, Vigo and
Wayne counties will satisfy the investigator that
/ the city or other libraries of Fort Wayne Lafay-
cite, Evansville, Terre Haute and Richmond
have been treated similarly But the figures
presented for Marion county are not correct for
any library or any combination of libraries ex-
| listing. For example, the circulation by this
report dropped from 206 728 to 1913, 233 while in
! fact the circulation of the city library alone
/ Increased in this year from 206 POT to PSF, 178
Where, then, did these figures come from?
I If the News will inquire at the Office of the
| county superintendent it will find the solution
of this puzzle in the duplicate or the report sent
| by him to the State Superintendent. Reports
are given from only three Townships Washing
ton, Perry, and Decatur Their aggregates are
| l. O85 volumes in the libraries, 104 volumes in
crease, ana no circulation reported. The In
| danapolis City Library is reported thus: No.
| volumes 100000 circulation 198 129 increase
LAPS volumes. Hence the figures in the State
Superintendent's report have been obtained as
follows: The number of volumes by adding the
volumes in the three township libraries to those
of the city library; the circulation fl98 1881 by
adding the circulation of the city library to the
increase of the township libraries: the increase
is the reported increase Of the city library alone
This result is then printed at the expense O
the State as statistics" Suppose that at some
future time it should be desirable to use thes,

An Example of sele-Control.

A dron incident occurred in court
lately, quite unknown outside of the
court regions. A little god-daughter of
the queen, remarkably clever child of
years of age, was received by her maj
esty. She sat on the queens lap; every
affectionate attention was shown her.
The queen caressed her, gave her bon
bons, but not word or even any notice
could be got out of the child. The little
creature sat firm, bolt upright, her little
fists clinched, her eyes fixed, gazing
straight forward.
After the audience the child was asked
why she acted SO disagreeably-why she
had not replied to her majesty. "Perche, !"
replied the child, solemnly, "aveva paura
cheavree una bizza." because I was
afraid would have a rage.) This little
Margherita entertains the nursery once
in while with what Florentine nurses
call bizza. She throws herself passion
ately on the ground and kicks and
screams Justify. Imagine the effect if
such scene had taken place in the pres
ence of royalty! Che marvel is how
those terribly rasped baby nerves, j.
on the edge of the tempest, were kept in
check by the child.-Rome Cor. Chicago

DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes takes a
deep interest in the movement to protect
birds from slaughter. II am myself" he
says, more than tolerant of the some
what intrusive intimacy of the English
sparrow. No other birds outside of the
barnyard let me come so near them-not
even the pigeons. But still more am
indebted to the gulls and ducks, who
during large part of the year are daily
visitors to the estuary of the Charles, on
which look from my library windows.
I wish they could be protected by law,
and if the law can not or will not do it,
that public opinion would come between
them and their murderers. Not less,
certainly, do feel the shame of the
wanton destruction of our singing birds
to feed the demand of a barbaric vanity"

Tragic Fate Of LOngfeIlOw's Wife.
That nature so gentle and amiable as
Longfellow's should have been subjected
to bereavement in the most tragic and
appalling form seems g stroke or fate as
cruel as the brutal bruising of Hover.
The catastrophe is thus recounted by his
biographer: ION the 9th of July his wife
was sitting in the library with her two
little girls engaged in sealing up some
small packages of their curls, which she
had Just cut off. From match fallen
upon the floor her light summer dress
caught fire; the shock was too great, ana
she died the next morning. Three days
later her burial took place at Mount Au-
burn. 1t was the anniversary OF her
marriage day, and on her beautiful head,
lovely and unmarried in death, some hand
had placed a wreath of orange blossoms.
Her husband was not there-contined to
his chamber by the severe burns whlch
he had himself received.
these wounds healed with time; time
could only assauge, never heal, the
deeper wounds that burned within. He
bore his grief in silence; only after
months had passed could he speak OF 1t,
and then only in fewest words. 10
visitor who expressed hope that he
might be enabled to bear his cross with
patience, he replied: Bear the cross,
yes; but what If one is stretched upon 1t?
When-not till five years later-he began
again to write verses of his own, 1t is
only infrequent phrases and lines that
reveal the sorrow lying ever at his heart.

The tradesman from whom acquire
my haberdashery informs me that the
dry goods stores are running his business.
They all deal in shirts, collars, cuffs, IN
derwear and the rest for men, and mar
ried men almost invariably do their shop
ping by the proxy of their wives, instead
of going to the furnishing goods store, as
of old. It is getting so bad, he AYERS,
that unmarried men get their female rela-
tives and friends to do the buying for
them, even at the risk of having to give
them the discount In ice cream or oys-
tiers. The only hope could hold forth
TO him was to cut his prices to compete
with his formidable rivals. In fact, there
is no longer an excuse for man to be
short of linen or Isle thread, with shirts
selling at 40 cents apiece, as I noticed
at one store recently, and underwear at
an average of 81 set.
The prices of all manner of clothing
are rapidly descending to the European
level with us. A few years ago it cost
three times as much to dress decently in
New York as in London or Paris. AS
for eating, one can feed better and
cheaper in New York to-day than in Lon
don or Paris For % cents 1 can buy a
healthier and heartier meal in this city
than ever could in the cook-shops of
London or the cheap tables d'hote of
Paris, and 1 am credibly informed that
prices across the water have rather in
creased and the quality of food deteri-
Grated since my time.-New York News

DFanarement of a Japanese Stage.

We were intensely interested in the
play, though we could not understand
one word of it. 1t was combination of
high tragedy, comedy, burlesque, panto-
mime, society play, spectacle, and melo-
drama. All the standard characteristics
Of each style of performance were con-
BpicuOusly present. The interest never
Jagged, and the changes were as rapid
and varied as those of a kaleidoscope.
There was no little effort at scenic dis
play. The stage revolved in two parts,
an inner and an outer circle. While one
scene was going on in front the next was
prepared behind it on the central turn
table and revolved into place in proper
time; when the dead bodies of those
killed in the previous scene were whirled
off by the outer circle. Wings and Dor
derS were used very similar to ours, but
the main part of the machinery was
built up on the central revolving stage.
